How to identify Low Endotoxin Recovery (LER)
How to Set-up hold-time studies
Analysis of influencing factors (Sample matrices, endotoxin, temperature, detection methods, etc.)
Understanding the driving forces of LER
Interpretation of test results
Dedicated sample treatment for demasking
In the last years the LAL test has become the preferred system to test for endotoxins – for the in-process control as well as in the final inspection – and it is anchored in the pharmacopoeias. However, in the recent past, the problem of low endotoxin recovery employs the pharmaceutical microbiology. Masking – or not? Evidence gaps? And how can I close them? And how to evaluate?
These are the questions the pharmaceutical microbiologists as well as those responsible for the release have to deal with.
And last but not least, how can we handle the test in daily business in a practical manner.

Utilizing high speed atomic force microscopy (HSAFM) to observe the conformational changes and stability of LPS, in the presence of detergents, and its impact on biological activity and LER. Mechanisms of LER can be influenced by LPS stability
Varying size and fragility of LPS aggregates can be directly correlated to presence of chelating agents and detergents
Elucidating conformational changes, in real time, on LPS using HSAFM
